I had the natural touch flowers which I ordered through [a company]- but I don't think they would be able to fit you in b/c they take orders about a year out now it seems. However, there are numerous other online companies that you can order the natural touch flowers from - or check out stores like Hobby Lobby, Michaels, etc to see if they have flowers you like.

We transported our flowers in s separate suitcase that we checked and had no problems.

I made my own flowers before I went too! Just went to Hobby Lobby and purchased them 50% off and got some ribbon and green tape and they turned out awesome! I am really not too crafty but I didn't want to spend tons of money on flowers either. It actually wasn't too difficult either. I made my bridesmaid bouquets and DH's boutennierre. We didn't do flowers for the GM's though and it worked out great! Here is a pic:

Most of the girls transporting there flowers, including us, put them in hard sided luggage so they don't get squished.

I don't know what your budget is, or if you have the time to make them yourselves. We have plenty of time so I was going to make ours thinking it would be cheaper, but it ended up being about the same price of ordering artificial, so I decided to save the time and pay to have them done w/ really nice real touch flowers. I'm ordering mine from Shavon fresh real natural touch artificial silk wedding bouquet flowers She has great prices! I'm ordering my bouquet, 4 BM, pomander for FG, 9 bouts (1 special for FI), 2 corsages, cake flowers, 7 centerpieces w/ glass vases. We're spending $698 which includes the shipping. So, if you were to have my flowers (for example) shavon would charge around $200.

Are you going to have a bout for your groom? I think GM's w/out would be ok, but the groom needs a little something special.

Some local flower shops do artificial, we have a few in our town, but they have been more expensive than ordering from AA, Sharon, Shavon, and so many others on the forum.

I know michaels carries some real touch, but a limited number of flowers. You can always check etsy.com there are lots of hair flowers on there, and alot of the designers will do a custom one for you.

I just used what the resort offered (pink roses) for my bouquet. I think they provided a bout for my husband as well, but I honestly can't even remember! I didn't do flowers for the groomsmen or bridesmaids, but the bm's carried parasols.
